is feeling Bad
About Me
I work for a CPA firm and right now we're in the middle of tax season. My faith is strong and I believe Jesus is my Lord & Saviour, My grandchildren are my heart and soul and I LOVE being a Grandma. I also cherish my four-legged kids, Sebastian, my dachshund, and Abby, a terrier mix we resuced. I also have a 19 yr. old cat named "Pussycat."
Interests
I love old movies from the 30's & 40's and I love to read. I love antique cars and that would be my hobby if I won the lotto. I love art galleries, museums, the History Channel, PBS & HGTV, and have always been fascinated with the Civil War and the Titanic. I love antiques and finding diamonds in the rough at Flea Markets.

Close Bereavement
Type: Loss of a Partner/SpouseMy husband of eight yrs was diagnosed w/end stage liver disease on January 2 and died on Feb. 1st. All the information he had given me (right after we were married)regarding his attorney was incorrect and I haven't been able to locate him. Haven't been able to find any life insurance policies. Medical & funeral bills are starting to come in.
Treatments
- Crying Somewhat Helpful
- Find myself having weeping moments at work. Close my door and it soon subsides.
- Getting Angry Considering
- Haven't gotten angry yet, but I think it's coming.
- Keeping Busy Somewhat Helpful
- We're in the middle of tax season so we're really busy at work and putting in long hours. But some days I'm so distracted and don't feel that I get a lot accomplished. Long hours make me too tired to take care of things at home like I should.
- Pets Working / Worked
- Don't know what I'd do without my two dogs. They give me so much love, I can take care of them, they're there to greet me when I get home instead of an empty house. We snuggle together in bed. They are very comforting.
- Prayer Working / Worked
- I pray for strength and guidance every day. Prayer is a big part of my life.
- Reading Working / Worked
- I checked out books on grieving since this is my first experience w/it.My parents and in-laws are still alive, haven't lost any siblings or friends. The books have been helpful.
- Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
- Some friends who were there initially have faded and gotten back into their own lives. My co-workers have been the biggest help to me.
- Talking Working / Worked
- My best friend lives in another city but we email every day and she helps me tremendously. She's been through something similar and is a great couselor.
Close Widows & Widowers
My husband of eight yrs died one month ago of end-stage liver disease. We thought we'd have 6 months but he died one month after being diagnosed. He was so strong and healthy and had so much stamina and was hardly ever sick a day in his life. I was a single mom for over 15 yrs and wasn't sure I'd ever find love again. But then we found each other and now he's gone. My faith is very strong but I find myself telling God that I want him back.
Treatments
- Faith Working / Worked
- I still find myself telling God that I want him back.
